Tipid“Can I keep this?” Tipid asked his attorney. His hands shook as he turned the key over in his blood-covered hands.He sat in the chair, but he could barely feel his legs. He still shook. Is this real? he wondered. Am I really here, or is this another trick? The Illusionists were still out there, casting their s...
Book 7, Chapters 9 and 10.
Chapter 9Juice Box changed to her familiar human form as she sat on Louis’s lap, her arm draped over his shoulder. She was smiling broadly, but I could see the tired and worry in her eyes. She had scars she didn’t have before. Her left ear, I also noticed, didn’t form when she changed, though after about ten seco...

Chapter 6Louis’s celestial box came with a pair of items.The first was a tier III guild upgrade called an Airship Portal, which was basically just an elevator that went up to the ceiling and allowed us to enter Louis’s new vehicle as long as it was docked to the base.The rules for the portal were fairly straightfor...

Dante.Dante read the newsletter a third time. He exchanged a look with Justice Light, his skyfowl neighbor.“They can’t do this,” Justice Light said. He also had Damien’s newsletter clutched in his shaking talon. “Who’s going to mind my shop?”“They’ll throw either a bopca or a generated NPC in there, l...
Name the new pet (Book 6/7 spoilers)
If you're holding out on reading book 6 until audio, you'll want to skip this poll. ***Carl is getting a pet. Ren's Tummy Acher needs a new name. The system will not allow it to be named Garret, and Carl will suggest to name it Garret 2 to which Donut will have a visceral, negative reaction. She's also ...

Dungeon Crawler Carl, Book 7. Faction Wars. Prologue plus Chapter one plus map.
If you just finished Eye of the Bedlam Bride, start here for book 7. Hey folks. Sorry for the delay in getting this started, but end of book stuff always takes a lot of time. A couple of housekeeping things. We will be changing the chapter naming conventions from now on, as you can see. Also, I know you’re all excite...
Dungeon Crawler Carl Book VI, The Eye of the Bedlam Bride book files.
So this is not the final, final version, but we're getting close. There are still typos to squash, and a few rando inconsistencies to fix. This version removes an unimportant fight or two and adds a sprinkling of new New Achievement notifications throughout. Lots and lots of little things have changed, too, like Ph...

Chapters 261, 262, 263
Cliffhanger alert. Chapter 261<Note added by Crawler Allister, 13th Edition>The Semeru Dwarves of the ninth floor all only worship a single goddess, who inevitably makes an appearance near the end of the battles as the final teams approach the gates of the castle of Larracos. She only has a single temple in the e...

Chapters 256 and 257
Hey everyone! I made a small, but crucially important change to the rules earlier, and I realized I had forgotten to post my retcon message which kinda pulled the punch of the cliffhanger at the end of the previous chapter. Apologies. Here is the relevant update quote from Cascadia when she was announcing the rules of ...
Chapters 254 and 255
Remember what I said last week about cliffhangers?Chapter 254Time until level collapse: 6 days, 15 hours.<Note added by Crawler Tipid, 5th Edition>It was me or him, and I chose to save myself. I didn’t think. I reacted. I reacted to save myself. Anybody else would do the same. I keep telling myself that again and aga...
Chapters 251, 252, 253
Just as warning. Every chapter release for now on is likely to end on an industrial-strength cliffhanger. This one is no exception. Chapter 251<Note Added by Crawler Priestly. 14th Edition>Stab, stab, stab. It is all I know.It is the final days of Faction Wars, and it is clear the orcs will stand victorious. It is clea...

Part IIIThe BedlamChapter 250<Note added by Crawler Ikicha. 11th Edition>My people have a saying. “The burning Yenk needs only to embrace their enemies.” It likely translates poorly, but what it means is that some problems aren’t problems at all if you think on it long enough.~“Wait, before we go, I have a ques...
Chapters 248, 249. Note about the release of book 6.
Note about the upcoming physical book release at the end of the chapter!~Chapter 248The trip north was eerie. There were no mobs. Not many memory ghosts, either. It was past midnight on Christmas morning, and traffic was light on the single lane highway. It was cold enough that I really shouldn’t be doing this ...
Chapters 245, 246, and 247
Chapter 245“How did you know it was Miss Beatrice’s mother and not the pitbull lady? I mean, with the fire thing. I was trying to keep track, and I couldn’t.”We were waiting for the fire on the yard to calm before we looted everything. The rest of the Iowa area was about to crash to the ground, and we had maybe...

Chapter 244<Note added by Crawler Milk, 6th Edition>Holy underworlds on high. That last fight... I can’t even describe it. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck.~It didn’t take long for the old trailer to burn. My view counter was spiked all the way to the right, despite me recently adjusting it upward. My ch...
Chapters 241, 242, and 243
Apologies in advance. This whole scene is really four chapters, which means this ends with a fucked up cliffhanger. I'm not quite finished with 244, and I wanted to make certain you got something before the end of the month. I have an additional note about these chapters at the end. ~Chapter 241“Carl, I feel you...
Chapter 240
Quick note. I did a few minor retcons that should be fairly obvious. I added a part to an earlier chapter about them prepping for the fights, which includes Donut wearing her headset microphone to call out commands (bard songs don’t work while a deck is active) and her casting Clockwork Triplicate on Mongo before a f...
Chapters 238 and 239 + Book cover reveal for The Eye of the Bedlam Bride.
-----> Cliffhanger alert. Sorry about that. <-----Chapter 238We had to hike a good ways to the saferoom, which was within a small, side-of-the-road shrimp shack. As we traveled, Donut continued to chat, rapid-fire about card theory, but somewhere along the way, she trailed off, and we finished the walk in mostly silenc...

Chapters 234 + 235 + Matt's 2023 con schedule
(Just did a minor edit. I posted the wrong version. It's the same as before, but I'd broken it up into two chapters.)Chapter 234I took a deep breath. I did my best not to show my utter dismay on my face.“So, why can’t you do it?” I asked.“Oh, believe me,” Odette said, waving her hand dismissively. “...

Warning. Chapter 233 ends on a bit of a cliffhanger.Chapter 232<Note Added by Crawler Ossie, 18th Edition>I know I don’t write often in these scrolls, but I have read them all.
